O UT OF THE P AST
A Real Need
Prairie City is one of the
few towns its size in the state
that has no public reading
room. Almost every little city
has a room open to the pub-
lic where good books, news-
papers and periodicals are to
be read by all who care to see
them, and where books can be
borrowed and read.
To open such a place in
Prairie would be compara-
tively easy if the matter were
taken up by the right people.
The initial cost could be met
in various ways, and it has
been found in other places
that there are many people
who own books that they have
read, and are glad to donate to
such a cause.

Staking a claim
Simple as it may be there
are those constantly asking
how to stake a mining claim.
A mining claim is 20 acres,
600 feet wide and 1,500 feet
long. At the point of discov-
ery, which is mineral rock in
place, the notice of location
is posted. Within 30 days
from the time of posting the
claim must be staked. A post
or monument is placed and
marked at each center end and
a post or monument, marked
at each corner making six in
all within 60 days from the
time of notice of location, the
location work must be done
and recorded in the of¿ce of
the county clerk. This loca-
tion work is a hole 6 by 4 by
10 feet or its equivalent. That
will hold the ground for a year
and fraction of year; that is for
one year from the following
July and then the assessment
work must be done each year
there after which amounts to
$100 worth of work and under
a recent law this proof of la-
bor must be recorded.

LONG CREEK — The
future of the Long Creek
Seventh-day
Adventist
Church building will be the
topic of a planning meeting
at 4 p.m. Friday, March 11,
in Long Creek City Hall.
The local Seventh-day
Adventist
congregation
plans to erect a new church
to replace the existing one,
which was constructed in
1896.
The Long Creek Histor-
ical Society would like to
save the building and have
it moved four blocks away
to its Fort Townsend site.
Historical Society members
say, while it is small, it’s
in good shape and would
serve the group’s needs as
a long-awaited museum for
housing artifacts.
The community is wel-
come to attend and offer in-
put. Long Creek City Hall is
located at 250 Hardisty St.
For more information, call
City Hall at 541-421-3601.
